Tribond!

[hymnia]

Here are some more old Tribond questions that I wrote for the FAP thread. I don’t think I used any of these at wahleecon, but if I’ve misremembered, forgive me. Anyway, there’s still plenty of folx on my flist who missed the Tribond games at WC, so even if I messed up, they’ll be new to at least some of you.

ETA: It occurred to me that some folx may not know what Tribond is. Basically, each Tribond question names three things that are related in some way. The object is to figure out the common thread. Here's an example:

Q: Christmas...Thanksgiving...H/Hr shippers
A: Pumpkin pie

Got it? [/edit]

1. Marietta...Gollum...The Cheat
2. Eloise Midgen...Moody...Neville
3. Christmas dinner in PS/SS...the Southeastern United States...an hors d’oeuvre platter
4. Mrs. Finnegan...Mr. Thomas...Mrs. Riddle
5. Harry...Lily...Dobby
6. Wingardium Leviosa...Venus...werewolves
7. Harry...Draco...Aunt Marge
8. Harry/Hermione...Dumbledore/M. Pomfrey...Remus/Tonks
9. Remus/Hermione...Remus/Ginny...Ron/Draco
10. Salazar Slytherin...Grima, son of Galmod...Lyra Belacqua
11. Peter Pettigrew...Frodo Baggins...Will Parry
12. Hagrid’s pumpkin patch...the doorway to 4 Privet Dr...Harry’s bedside in GT

Also, does anyone remember who came up with the one that was “Professor Flitwick...Cedric...Dudley”? I thought that was a really good one, and I was wondering if I could post it on the Tribond thread at FAP, as I believe it needs a bit of a revival. LMK if that's okay.

“Professor Flitwick...Cedric...Dudley” Yes, that was me (though I used the other person as the second one, but this way is better). You can certainly use it!

4. Mrs. Finnegan...Mr. Thomas...Mrs. Riddle

The magical half of a muggle/magical marriage?

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Almost! I was looking for one little tiny detail beyond that, though.

[redwood7.livejournal.com]

Okay...that his/her spouse didn't know about his/her partner's status as a witch or wizard?

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Right. :)

[wahlee-98.livejournal.com]

Peter Pettigrew...Frodo Baggins...Will Parry

This is the ONLY one that I have a clue on-- They all lost a finger!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

That's it!

Don't want to take a stab at #10? It's also an HP...LotR...HDM combo.

[wahlee-98.livejournal.com]

10. Salazar Slytherin...Grima, son of Galmod...Lyra Belacqua

They all have "tongue" associated with them-- Parseltongue, Wormtongue, and Silvertongue!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Yep!

don' really know, but...

[solusfides.livejournal.com]

well, I don' really know, but...
THE CHEAT!!!!
everyone should have their own, The Cheat!

[harryswheezy.livejournal.com]

5. Harry...Lily...Dobby

Green eyes!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[redwood7.livejournal.com]

2. Eloise Midgen...Moody...Neville

Nose stuff. Eloise's disappeared when she tried to get rid of her acne, Moody's has a chunk missing, and Neville broke his.

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

That's right! That was actually one my mom made up.

[fellytone-k8.livejournal.com]

2. Eloise Midgen...Moody...Neville

I'm thinking that this has something to do with their noses...they've all had injuries to it?

5. Harry...Lily...Dobby

They all have green eyes?

I have no idea for any of the others. Great challenge!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Both are correct. :)

[harryswheezy.livejournal.com]

12. Hagrid’s pumpkin patch...the doorway to 4 Privet Dr...Harry’s bedside in GT

Symbols used within the subtext to bolster H/Hr's Very Plantonic Deep Bond of Souls!!!!!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Very funny. :P

No, this doesn't have anything to do with ships.

[harryswheezy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. But that one's driving me nuts, so I had to make a joke out of it. What the hex is it?

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Hint: Something similar happens in all three places.

[sannalim.livejournal.com]

1) the Sneak!
2) messed-up noses
3) crackers
4) witches or wizards who married Muggles and didn't tell until after the wedding
5) bright green eyes
10) ParselTONGUE, WormTONGUE, SilverTONGUE
11) lost finger(s)

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

ALL correct. Very good!

[sannalim.livejournal.com]

And no, I didn't look at ANY of the comments before I did this :)

[angua9.livejournal.com]

12. Where someone was sick.

I did not just do this.

[angua9.livejournal.com]

6. OWL exam subjects.

Or this.

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

*snerk* wutevre.

Right on both.

[angua9.livejournal.com]

7. Harry...Draco...Aunt Marge

Dude, they all broke glasses! al;dsfkasd;lf;lsadjf;sadf;af

[sannalim.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's that they're all capable of growing mustaches!

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

akjl;ajdfk

Um, not what I had in mind, either.

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Ha! Actually...that's not what I had in mind.

[angua9.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... *thinks harder*

[dianora.livejournal.com]

1. Sneaks!
4. Muggles?
10. Something-tongue
11. Missing a finger (or two)

Those are the only ones I got right away, not counting the few that we already did at Wahleecon. I'd love to stop and work on the others now, but I must get to bed! I hope you keep posting these, though...they're really fun. :D

[dianora.livejournal.com]

Hee, wrong half of the Muggle/magic marriage. Am spacey. Must not start thinking about these and be drawn in...

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

All correct. (Except #4, as you saw.) :)

[sannalim.livejournal.com]

Harry, Draco, and Aunt Marge: is it that they all fly in Book Three?

[hymnia.livejournal.com]

Nope, not that either. Hmmm...didn't expect this one to be that tricky.
